Initially, I must say that I didn't have much of any expectations for this 2019 movie titled "Driven" from writer Casey Dillard and director Glenn Payne.
But it was a movie that I hadn't seen already, and it is listed as a horror comedy here on IMDb, so of course I found the time to sit down and watch the movie.
While the movie is fairly limited, I mean in terms of the majority of the movie taking place around the vehicle that Emerson drives, it actually turned out to be rather enjoyable. This was mostly due to a rather interesting script from writer Casey Dillard, and some really nice acting by the two leads - that being Casey Dillard and Richard Speight Jr..
The horror aspect to the movie is more of a backdrop to help cement the storyline, so you shouldn't expect a grand masterpiece of horror cinema here. In fact, there was absolutely nothing scary about the movie, nor were there any jump scares.
The comedy is semi-subtle, but it works quite well. And I must say that things like broken talismans, spells gone awry, turd spoons and car air fresheners did help to add to the storyline.
"Driven" is not your average movie, and I think it might not land equally well with just everyone in the audience. I did enjoy it, however, and I am rating it a six out of ten stars.
